Confidentiality Policy

Your privacy is important to us, and we believe that counseling is most effective when students feel comfortable speaking openly with their therapist. We hope this information will clarify our privacy policies.

In the usual course of events, you have the right to keep your therapy here completely private. This means that, without your written permission, no information about your contact with us is available to anyone outside of this agency, including any personnel, parents, family members, friends, or outside agencies. We do use an electronic medical record. However, although your therapist has access to your medical information, notes written by your counselor cannot be viewed by any staff. Please ask us if you have any questions about this, as we want to be sure you are comfortable with our practices.

There are certain exception to confidentiality, noted below, with which you should be aware before you enter into a therapeutic relationship. Please read carefully through these exceptions, and be sure to ask your therapist if you have any questions.

Exceptions to Confidentiality

1. If appropriate, your counselor may consult with your treating physician or other healthcare provider to coordinate your care with appropriate confidentiality agreements;

2. If you pose a threat of harm to yourself, to another person, or to the community, we will take whatever steps are required by law, or permitted by law, to help prevent the potential harm from happening. This may include contacting your family and/or police officials;

3. In the event of a psychiatric hospitalization;

4. If you report information indicating that a child, disabled, or elderly person is suffering abuse or neglect;

5. A court order, issued by a judge, could require us to release information contained in your records, or could require a therapist to testify;

6. If you have been mandated by an official agency for an evaluation.
